Hi All. Apologies about having to have to ask again about the non-working temp guage. Have fitted a new voltage stabiliser but noticed that the guage ain't 'guaging'. It did work on the journey to Santa Pod but not on the way home. I asked the same Q a while back but forgot to print it off and I can't find it now - doh<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/embarassed.gif ALT=":o"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

I vaguely recall something about wiring but that's about it really. Bus + head issues again, sorry.<br>
<br>

First thing to check is the wire on the sender. It worked loose on my car.

take the connector off, and earth it, the needle should go full scale deflection to hot, this proves that your gauge is working.<br>
<br>
Check the output of the voltage stabilizer, should be 10v of course.<br>
<br>
If its not the sender, or the gauge, get amongst it with a multimeter and find out whats wrong with the wiring. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
